Smack Talk Code of Conduct
Respect your fellow board members. Always try and keep in mind that opinions are being presented, opinions that you may or may not necessarily agree with. If you don't agree with someone, you generally have 2 options. One, of course, is to just ignore it and move on. The other would be to say that you disagree, and provide a point/counterpoint to the discussion at hand.
It's not necessary and is totally out of line for you to call another poster an "insert derogatory or curse word here", just because they have a different opinion than yours. If it is noted by the board moderators that someone is calling other posters names, and berating others verbally, that person will be "banned" from the message boards and lose their posting privileges indefinitely. Warnings may or may not be given prior to a suspension being handed down.
Please refrain from using profanity in your posts, there are people of all ages that view these boards, and that type of language is not necessary. A word filter is used for some words, and these words when typed will be replaced with "[censored]". Masking of the words is discouraged as well, IE: "pi$$ed off". Profanity of any kind that is included in a topic title will cause the thread to be deleted. Posts of a sexual nature are also deemed as not allowable. Keep in mind that fans of all ages view this site; jokes or posts of a sexual nature are not appropriate for any forum on this message board.
• Any communication that is intended as a personal attack to another member (foul language) is forbidden.
• Material that contains vulgar, obscene or indecent language or images.
• Any communication that contains spam (multiple copies in one area or the same communication in multiple areas).
• Material that defames, abuses or threatens others.
• Statements that are bigoted, hateful, sexually oriented or racially offensive.
• Topics that are created with the sole purpose to persecute, talk negatively about another member in anyway will not be tolerated and lead to the banning of the member who started said topic.
Remember this is "The SmackForum" if you are easily offended by others who disagree with your posts and opinions then this forum may not be for you. Jungle Noise is a forum that consists of "Football" talk where one will not be "smacked" around in. This forum is for fun, lighthearted discussions about the Bengals and other NFL Teams and their fans to toss banter back and forth.
Keep it clean and have fun!!!! http://192.168.1.162/forums/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif
